Was leaning i%ndolently against the iron
railing just in front OF bis cell, IN an at
tltuae of seeming Indifference. Parsons
had hia soft black hat jauntily cooked on
one side of his head, and seemed keenly
to enjoy he prospect of his sixty
minutes freedom without the mar
row poundries of his prison home. His
hair was nearly combed, his clothing
was brushed clean and while chatting
with three oma who called to see him
he toyed with q cigar which he pulled at

his voice is q hoarse, thick gutteral.

whose demeanor has not been changed
by jail life. He is still de fiant. He

She Knew All About Peter.

1t WAS ct a Sunday school examination
and the superintendent was showing off
the results Of his laborR. During the
exercises be asked the children who
could tell him anything about Peter.
No one answered. The question was re-
peated several times, till finally q little
girl held up her hand. "We,l, nay DEAR
said the superintendent, chats right i,
l am glad to see there is one little girl
who will put theee larger boys and girls
to shame" The little girl came forward
to the platform and was told to tell the
audience what she knew of Peter. She
put he fingers in her mouth, and look
ing very smiling, said:

Put her in a pumpkin she'll.
